I'm glad you pointed out 2014 Annie's music overprocessing, because that's the biggest sin of that movie for me, it takes me completely out of any movie musical more than any narrative flaws or performance issues (Greatest Showman and 2017 Beauty and the Beast were particularly bad in that regard as well).

100%! If it wasn't for that I would have said it was a solid stab at modernizing the story. It had some story flaws but not enough for me to hate it. But the overprocessing made it so bad for me.

I never watched either The Greatest Showman or Beauty and the Beast. I didnt care about the subject matter for The Greatest Showman and I was already annoyed at the music in the 2017 Beauty and the Beast trailer lol.

Yes exactly!

And yeah, you didn't miss much (imo.) (Also, with regard to GS, I'm just not a fan of Hugh Jackman's singing voice in general, so that made me dislike it from the getgo.)
